I have a Casio PX-800 digital piano. The damper pedal broke in half. Any solution on a replacement? I find that the pedal assemble SP32 works with some of the Casio models, but the PX-800 isn't listed. Will the SP32 work with the PX-800 also?

Hi BOB, We have the PX-800 which was originally fitted with the SP30 pedal mechanisim which snapped on the damper pedal (really a manufacture fault which they deny!) if you swop it with the SP32 it will work but you have to use the green circuit board from the SP30 and also the old SP30 damper mechanisim inside, quite a lot of screws to undo and a bit fiddly but it does work fine.

What exactly is the damper mechanixm that you refer to? I swapped the green circuit boards and replaced the unit. Now, I have a constant sustain effect...lol. Not sure what I did wrong, but am still fiddling.What exactly is the damper mechanixm that you refer to? I swapped the green circuit boards and replaced the unit.

Unfortunately, the SP33 pedal will not work with the PX-830BP. Casio lists that the SP33 will only work with the PX-150BK, PX-150WE, PX-160BK, PX-160GD, PX-350BK, PX-350WE, PX- 360, and PX-560 keyboards.
The PX-830 manual does not list the stand or the pedal unit as separate items if you need to replace them. The pedal unit has 3 pedals like a traditional piano. I wish that I had better news for you.
The Casio Privia 410r has two pedal jacks at the back. One is the sustain pedal, the other is the soft/sus jack. Please use the other jack if you want to use sustain pedal. Only 1 of the 2 jacks can be used.
However, if you have the optional sp30a pedal which plugs UNDER the piano instead, then only can you have 3 different piano pedals.
Old reply so hopefully it's fixed. Dust or hair can get through the gaps and land on or near the contacts of the electronic key sensors. To be on the safe side (rather than doing a diy) take it in to the technicians. They'll have it fixed in a jiffy
The problem you're encountering is actually a feature, called stretch tuning. While real pianos are tuned in this way it's meant to sympathise with their natural 'organics' and might sound wrong on a digital instrument. The solution is to turn stretch tuning off. The manual should be able to tell you how.
Yep... Roland pedals are reversed, that is, normally closed contacts. Unlike some Yamaha keyboards, the Casio doesn't have an inversion function available. You have two choices to solve this: 1. Buy a pedal with the corect sense 2. Open the Roland pedal and MAYBE with a soldering iron you can move a wire to select a contact with the opposite sense.
This is a problem with one of the two contacts for that key. The contacts close at different times as the key is depressed and the time it takes between is measured as velocity which is used to control the loudness as in a regular piano. The contacts are conductive rubber pills. After a lot of dis-assembly you can clean them with 99% isoprphyl alcohol and Q Tips. Clean both the pills and the circuit traces on the board they are pressed against. Be very careful of the ribbon cables between the halves of the case.
If you noticed that the pedal works on and off depending on the jack plug positioning, it is because the jack is already broken loose from the solder on the board. If the pedal that you are using can normally open as most or normally closed like Roland types, you can still replace the loosed jack. Unit has to be opened and correct jack replaced.
